Leave your thoughts about Reclaim.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfReclaim isn't a disaster, it's just disappointing and thoughtless after a potent introduction. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersWhile we can all agree that human trafficking is a despicable thing, it's also clear that this amazingly inept screenplay fails to do the issue justice. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThis isn’t activism; it’s by-the-numbers suspense. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeIn any movie where good people are being scammed by nefarious ripoff artists, there's the potential moment where the protagonists become so stupid and trusting that you lose all sympathy for them. That moment occurs about midway through Reclaim |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonA totally routine movie that tries to combine a message about trafficked children with a lowbrow thriller about loved ones going missing in a foreign country. |
| The DissolveScott TobiasBy trying to have it both ways—goosing up black-market trafficking for cheap thrills, while posing as being sincere about a real global scourge—the film winds up stuck in the middle. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenCarmine Gaeta and Luke Davies' screenplay is constructed from plot mechanics, and the emotional stakes grow less convincing with every twist of the screw. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAnd to be fair, Cusack doesn’t phone it in. He gives the part his all, displaying his usual expert deadpan comic timing while delivering the weak quips in Carmine Gaeta and Luke Davies’ screenplay. But it’s disheartening nonetheless to see him working so hard to enliven such inferior material. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyAlan White’s polished but pedestrian pic mines little real suspense and few surprises from a formulaic script. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThere are no twists or even surprises, except the final realization that director Alan White is taking his culturally clueless, ineptly shot B-movie totally seriously. Judging from the uniformly underwhelming performances, he’s the only one. |
